STOVE-HOOD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 717,961, dated January 6,1903. Application filed July 17. 1902. Serial No. 115,933. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED ANDERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing atFrazee, in the county of Becker and State of Minnesota, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove-Hoods; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to stove-hoods.

The object of the invention is to provide a device of this character adapted to be connected to the Stovepipe of a cooking-stove I5 and arranged in such proximity to the top of i the stove as to collect the smoke from the stove and the vapors from the cooking articles and convey them to the smoke-pipe, special provision being made whereby should :0 there be sudden puffs of smoke or vapor the same will not be given a chance to scatter or diffuse and escape from the lower edges of the hood, draft-conduits being employed for carrying 0d the smoke and vapor, which when rising in the form of puffs would ordinarily escape below the lower edge of the hood.

With this and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended clai In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a section of a smokepipe, illustrating the application of my invention. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the hood. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view on line w on of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a sectional view on line y y across one of the corners of c the hood.

In the drawings, 1 denotes a smoke-pipe of a cook-stove.

2 denotes a hood, and 3 denotesa pipe establishing communication between the hood and smoke-pipe. The hood is preferably pro vided with a flexible band 4:,I-having an eye at one end. This band is riveted to the hood and is adapted to embrace the smokepipe and have one end inserted through the eye at its opposite end, and thus steady the hood in its connection with the stovepipe. 'The hood may be of any well-known form and is shown in the present instance as a hollow frusto-pyramidal shell, the lower edge of which terminates in a vertically-depending flange 6. A'hood thus constructed when arranged in close proximity to the top of a stove over the cooking utensils will carry ofi the smoke from the stove and the vapor and odor from the articles being cooked; but should there be sudden pufis of smoke,

as there often are, or puffs of vapor-caused,

for instance, by the boiling over of some of the utensils-these sudden pulfs would enter the hood; but unless at that particular time there was a strong draft through the smokepipe the smoke and vapor would tend to diffuse or spread and escape from under the lower edges of the hood, and thus be not carried up into and discharged through the smoke-pipe. To overcome this serious objection is one of the objects of the present invention, and to that end I provide what for convenience of reference I will term draftconduits 7, which are arranged on the under side of the hood and extend from its lower to its upper end and are open at each end, so that should the smoke and vaporafter entering the hood spread and tend to escape from under the lower edges of the hood they will be checked and drawn up through the draftconduits and discharge into the pipe 3. These conduits are preferably formed flaring, the lower ends being larger than the upper ends, whereby an increased suction is produced, and are preferably formed each of a single piece of metal having the marginal edges bent down or flanged and soldered to the under side of the shell of the hood, and in order to give a neater finish strips 8 are riveted over 0 these soldered edges to conceal the same and serve as an additional means for securing the conduits to the hood.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, and advantages of the invention will bereadily understood without requiring an extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, ICC and details of construction may be made with in the scope of the invention without departof the shell, said conduits corresponding in number and shape to the pyramidal sides of the shell and secured thereto by strips and I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patbeing of greater area at their lower ends than cut, isat their upper ends, substantially as set forth.

A stove-hood comprising a frusto-pyraini- In testimony whereof I have hereunto set dal shell having a centrally-disposed outlet, my hand in presence of two subscribing witing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

Having thus described my invention, what flat radially-disposed draft-conduits located nesses. 0n the under side of the shell and communil eating at their upper ends with the outlet and ALFRED ANDERSON. Witnesses:
